 * I find vibrant and bright colours visually appealing in photos. I also like black and white because to me it gives a photo more of a timeless look. A strong contrast of is also appealing to me. Positivity influences my perspective because I like to surround myself with positive actions and people. I enjoy learning new things that affect the world as a whole and how people read and react to situations that occur. A particular image that sticks in my mind is a photo of an Alaskan Brown Bear grazing a field in Alaska. There is a rainbow in the gloomy dark sky that brings a sense of calmness to the surroundings of the brown bear. This photo is memorable to me because my dad lives in Alaska and is a wildlife photographer and journalist. He has taken many photos of bears and other wild animals and this photo reminds me of where I used to live with nature surrounding me. In this course I hope to effectively learn new and different techniques of how to make photos more visually appealing to people instead of always taking average photos with no sense of visual creativity.** **Although there is not a vast range of different colours in this photo, it stands out to me because of the pale shades of blue. The sky stands out against the trees and the snow covered ground which creates contrast. I also like the foot tracks in the snow indicating that someone was in the field, but at the time this picture was captured the** **field looks very isolated and still.**



**Thanks for the introduction to you! Nice attention to detail and choice of image.** **5/5**
